CA DCIM Solution Helps Colocation Provider
Deliver Operational Transparency And Create Added Value for
Clients
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) and RagingWire Data Centers, the
nation’s premier data center provider, announced that the two
companies are working together to implement key elements of CA
Technologies CA DCIM (data center infrastructure management)
solution as part of RagingWire’s industry leading N-MatrixTM DCIM
system. N-Matrix is RagingWire’s proprietary software which
integrates more than 20 infrastructure management applications and
presents detailed power and security reports to customers via an
interactive online portal.
The companies are working together to tailor, integrate, and
leverage the monitoring, analysis, asset management, and 3D
visualization capabilities of CA DCIM to support RagingWire’s award
winning data centers in Ashburn, Virginia and Sacramento,
California. The result will be a sophisticated software management
platform with real-time data collection across multiple
infrastructure systems, extensive analysis and reporting, and
holistic facility power, cooling, and bandwidth utilization
visualizations. The enhanced N-Matrix system will deliver
operational transparency and create additional value for RagingWire
clients who will have access to the system for no incremental
charge.
“While many other data center providers are still formulating
their DCIM strategies, RagingWire is already delivering concrete
benefits and added value to customers with the N-Matrix DCIM system
it has running in production today,” said Terrence Clark, senior
vice president, infrastructure management, CA Technologies. “By
making the CA DCIM solution a core element of their N-Matrix
system, RagingWire is both validating our industry leadership in
DCIM and raising the bar for performance and transparency in the
data center services market.”
RagingWire operates 650,000 square feet of data center
facilities in California and Virginia with one mission – to be the
best data center company in the country. The colocation provider
has a unique patented design which allows it to move live power
loads throughout the data center to meet customer needs. RagingWire
offers a 100% uptime service level agreement (SLA) to its customers
even during maintenance windows, one of the only data center
companies to do so.
“The data center industry has been criticized for a lack of
transparency regarding data center environmental conditions,
bandwidth, and power utilization. RagingWire is changing that,”
said William Dougherty, vice president of information technology at
RagingWire. “We vetted a large number of solution providers in our
search for a DCIM solution that met our objectives of excellent
customer experience and integrated deep-dive data analysis
capabilities. CA Technologies was the provider that stood out to us
with respect to our specifications.”
As part of RagingWire’s N-Matrix system, CA Technologies DCIM
technology further improves RagingWire’s critical infrastructure
reliability with data trending capabilities to correct equipment
operating deficiencies before failure, as well as visualized and
automated notification and alarm functions. With the addition of CA
DCIM, RagingWire's customers will now have access to visualization
and data feeds via a customer portal, through web services APIs,
and through CA's iPad and Android applications. Dougherty
continued, "N-Matrix and CA DCIM allow RagingWire customers to
consume data center operational data in the way that best meets
their needs. Adding CA DCIM allows us to expand on our 13 year
history of providing world class data center technologies to our
customers."
“Service providers and other data center operators increasingly
recognize that deploying DCIM enables improved infrastructure
monitoring and management,” said Rhonda Ascierto, research manager,
data center technologies and eco-efficient IT for 451 Research.
“But the fuller potential of DCIM for a data center provider is
reached when that value is delivered back to its customers. The
approach of companies like RagingWire and CA Technologies
illustrates what can be done when the offerings of data center and
software companies are brought together.”
RagingWire and CA Technologies are participating in AFCOM Data
Center World, this week in Orlando, Fla. RagingWire is bringing
together industry experts to offer a four-hour tutorial called
“Colocation and the Enterprise: Best Practices and Strategies for
Your Business.” In addition, Christopher Thames, director of
critical facilities operations at RagingWire, is giving a
presentation called “Colocation Data Center Availability: Making
Maintenance Windows Obsolete.” CA Technologies is showcasing its CA
DCIM solution.
